Hi Everyone, Dale’s turn to write. So you get lots of pictures for my pilot friends. We had a great week in Berlin and when Laurel left me for her Greek lessons back in Cyprus, I wiped a tear, then ran off to the LuftwaffenMuseum to see – more airplanes! When your done come back and hit this link.. http://www.b-domke.de/AviationImages/Luftwaffenmuseum.html Lots of cool photos. As the photos show, they have a great collection. Of interest was one room dedicated to George AFB in the States. On the ceiling were stapled up ceiling panels with logos of units. One that caught my eye was 42 Radar Sqn in Cold Lake, next was 410 and 441 Sqn with signed autographs of some of our Canadian Fighter pilot colleagues. What a strange feeling seeing them up there in a hangar in a small village in Eastern Germany. I will let the photos do the rest. But I would encourage you to double click the last photo. It is of a display of a poster of the Reichstag infront of some actual aircraft wreckage. It was disturbing to realise that it is an actual photo of the same parliament building with the glass bubble we just visited. The field in view is now brilliant green with lovely landscaping and prepared for the Berlin Marathon celebrations. Then.... It really showed me how fragile our securtity is given man's capacity for destruction. I leave for Cairo on Thursday and home by the weekend. Laurel’s got a job jar that I have been meaning to get to…. Honest….
